Problems I had with TS2000 using it end of day included:

    - crashes while running workspace assistant, these were solved with the
help of tech support

    - inaccurate reporting of open positions in workspace assistant, all
trades show entry price = current price.  This bug was  acknowledged by tech
support.  I hope it gets fixed on SP2.

    - I like to run with 15-25 open workspaces.  This uses up all my memory
on my 128M, 450MHz machine.  It also optimizes systems much slower than TS4.

    - Lastly, I had lots of problems with HistoryBank.  The data quality is
extremely inaccurate and you have to download many, many MB's of data just
to get for a few symbols.  Luckily, I still am able to get my data from
DialData and I use it just fine.

    - Currently it is usable, although for convenience, mainly due to point
#3 above, I still use TS4.  Also, I have an add-on program that works with
TS4, not TS2000i, TSTrades from Quality Systems in Australia.

    - I do like the better system reporting much better in TS2000i, though.
It appears they have built in much of what was provided by Rina Systems'
add-on to TS4.  I like the ability to integrate Excel spreadsheets and my
internet browser to make my trades with my e-broker, too.

    - I bought OS2000 but haven't put it through its paces yet.  I am
looking forward to working more with intraday data and TS2000i once
HistoryBank works (and I guess I'l have to add another 128MB of memory).

Hope this helps.
